Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device designed to help people who have to help a third party at risk of drowning, and its main objective is to save the life of both the person providing the aid and that of the assistant.
• the present invention relates to water rescue and rescue, its objective being to save lives by means of an effective relief device for people who are at risk of drowning in beaches, rivers and swamps.
• the proposed invention comes to solve the problem of those lifeguards who, being expert swimmers enter the sea, armed only with a small hand float, willing to give their lives for those in danger, being relatively easy for They reach the person they want to help, the problem arises when they have to get it out of the water with a strong hangover, so many times this is not enough and both the injured person and the lifeguard end up drowning.
• the present invention is to be used due to its simplicity and safety, by any person, without being a professional lifeguard, throughout the year, since said lifeguards are only hired by the municipalities in the months of July and August . The rest of the year there are no beach guards, only the stalls work Help. In this way anyone can help a needy, since the speed of action determines the success of saving a life.
• the industrial application of the present invention is found in the industry of life-saving devices and in particular of water-saving devices and mechanisms.
• lifeguards are known, this being a system that has many detractors, since these are normally launched with a rope, but its weight makes the maneuver very difficult reason why its use has been systematically ruled out on beaches, although in swimming pools it is a useful tool. And there is nothing for those who are not professional lifeguards.
• the rescue system is also known from the winch with steel wire and a helicopter hook. This same type of rescue is used to help someone who is inside a well, a mine, etc., even to tow boats or remove vehicles from snow or mud.
• the proposed invention goes through the conjunction of this system whose proper functioning is highly contrasted, and the know-how and preparation of the lifeguard body, and even and perhaps this is the most important thing, it can be used with guarantees of success by a person who is not qualified to rescue a third party from the water.
• the drawback is that it takes a long time to reach the rescue point.
• the patent ES 2 107 767 T3 8 refers to a floating stretcher intended for the recovery of wounded in the sea, of the type comprising a metallic frame manipulable by helicopter that supports a composite plate that ensures the buoyancy of the set, being articulated in its middle part, so that the set can be folded over itself longitudinally.
• Document ES 1 034 890 U refers to a device for saving people in the water, consisting of a rigid body, of a non-porous material and of lower density than water, of a generally tapered configuration, provided with a surrounding peripheral ring to the body, solidly attached to the body by a connecting portion at one of its ends, by two first bridge portions in the middle area of the body and by two second bridge portions on both sides of the opposite end, the body of which is also provided at least one concavity in which a case containing a mask for mouth-to-mouth breathing is removably arranged.
• Devices are also known which, as described by the patent ES 2 192 147 A1 warn for the rescue of people in aquatic environments and also location devices for rescue work such as the one proposed by the utility model ES 1 008 342 U.
• the water rescue device on beaches object of the present invention is constituted with the objective that in the event of a possible drowning in beaches, rivers and swamps, a person qualified or not to intervene can come to the rescue with the peace of mind of being assured with an element of buoyancy linked to the mainland through a rope and that the rescue system, will bring both him and the rescue without danger to the current and shortening the times of action that are so critical To save a life.
• the system is constituted from an iron, sheet or hard plastic shell or other materials anchored to a concrete base, closed with glass door to be able to break in case of emergency.
• a preferably electric motor connected to the mains or battery is on a bench, although in different embodiments it may be a combustion engine. Said motor moves the rotation of an axis on which a coil is mounted that coils a braided polypropylene rope or other reflective material, at least 200 m long and 10 mm thick capable of floating in the water and supporting At least 1,000 kg of weight.
• the end of the rope wound on the coil is attached to the dorsal area of a life jacket that the lifeguard or the person performing the rescue adjusts to the body with cinch between the legs, designed to keep an unconscious person face up and with the airways out of the water, equipped with a whistle to warn at the time it can be rescued and a light signal.
• the end of said coil axis rests on support tripod bearings at the end of the bed and has a coupling on the outer face for crank with the purpose of winding by hand in case of engine failure.
• the motor is connected to the coil axis by means of a speed reducing pulley.
• a post nailed to the shore of the beach, presents at the end of it a quick opening carabiner where the lifeguard passes the rope before entering the water.
• Said post is made of galvanized sheet, or other material, approximately one and a half meters high above ground level, painted with the regulatory marking stripes.
• the carabiner is automatic opening, so you just have to pass the rope through it.
• the pole with the carabiner has a double function, on the one hand to prevent the rope from tripping over people or obstacles on the beach, and on the other, raising the collection point, which will allow rescuers and lifeguards to keep their heads higher.
• the life jacket is provided with harness.
• an acoustic alarm is activated by breaking the glass of the door and the box is illuminated.
• an alarm signal is transmitted to the rescue center in order to send an ambulance to the scene of the incident.
• the use of the salvage device object of this invention begins by opening the glass door of the housing by breaking the glass, at which time the box is illuminated, an audible alarm sounds and a message is sent to the rescue center to be I approached an ambulance. Then the lifeguard or the person who is ready to perform the action to help the victim is placed on the lifejacket, tying the straps to the legs, leaving the end of the rope attached to the dorsal of the lifeguard. Then, if there is a pole, run to the pole by the water and run the rope through the carabiner and then swim to the person who is going to help. The lifeguard secures the person assisted to the vest and blows the whistle or activates the light signal. In the rescue device a person starts the motor that winds the rope in the coil by pulling the aid and the aid until both reach the shore. In case the motor does not work, it activates the crank of the coil manually achieving the same end.
